"Rags' friends at the Black Woof Inn take the very best care of her when we are out of town. She comes home completely exhausted, like a kid coming home from summer camp. They send daily 'report cards' with photos… Totally worth the drive from Louisville."

"Our 9 year old golden doodle has developed anxiety, especially during grooming. To say we are pleased is an understatement. They managed her well, made her comfortable, and she looks amazing! So glad to have Black Woof Inn right down the road in La Grange."

"Kevin starts whining as soon as we pull into the parking lot and runs out of the car to go inside. He cannot wait for us to leave… Great rates, no issues with availability, and a friendly staff!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Black Woof Inn located, and what areas do you serve?+
We're at 2405 KY-53 in La Grange, KY, an easy drive from Oldham County and the east side of Louisville. There's even a veterinarian right next door for extra peace of mind.
Is Black Woof Inn really veteran owned and family run?+
Yes. We're proudly veteran owned and family operated, and it shows in how we treat every dog. It's a big reason local owners have given us a 4.9 star rating across 100+ Google reviews.
How young can my puppy start?+
Earlier is better. Good habits and socialization in the first months prevent problems later, so it's rarely too early to start building a foundation.
What vaccinations does my puppy need first?+
Puppies should be up to date on their age-appropriate core vaccinations before joining us. We'll confirm exactly what's needed when you reach out.
What does a puppy program cover?+
The foundations that set your puppy up for life: socialization, potty and crate habits, name recognition, basic manners, and calm handling.
Is training done in a group or private setting?+
We'll recommend the best format for your puppy's age and temperament when you get in touch.
